Course Evaluations

This is the first time we have offered the 3+2 credit option for PL + Compilers.

In the past, all students had to take the 3 credit part only.

Should we have similar options in the future?

Do you appreciate having difficult classes, assuming we warn you in advance?

One-Slide Summary

A quantum computer manipulates quantum bits ; such qubits can represent a superposition   of possible states.

Quantum computers are probabilistic . Grover's Algorithm (for linear search in sub-linear time) and Shor's Algorithm (for factoring integers in polylog time) are common quantum algorithms.

When you use a quantum computer to “try everything in parallel” you get back a random answer .

The Key The key to quantum algorithms is to make a bunch of parallel worlds that all have something (part of the right answer) in common .
